Spoilery preview of S8 issue 4.

Dude! Amy *saved* Warren before Willow killed him? WTF? Apart from all the enormous issues it raises (what about The First? How did Willow not *notice* that she wasn't the one killing him (/making him disappear)? What about Willow's whole S7 arc? What does Amy see in a misogynist pig who kills girls for fun? Etc. etc.), then there is this (which has been bothering me since Amy was first revealed): How come they didn't get out of Sunnydale before the apocalypse? Even ordinary people could feel that something bad was coming and left town, so surely a smart girl like Amy would get the hell out before the whole place collapsed?

It doesn't make sense!!!! Did working on Wonder Woman break something vital in Joss' brain? I know he never cared all that much about 'how things worked', bending the rules so he could get to the emotional part, but this is... *throws hands up*

Thank the powers above that this never made it to the screen!

Oh, that's bad. Horrible, even. Worst of all, it's lame.

It's like I said in molly_may's LJ a while back, the comics really seem to be disregarding the show, particularly the last 2 years. Before it was characterization (nothing from S7 seems to have stuck at all) and now he's basically trying to do away with the actual events. What's next, Xander didn't really lose an eye? Joyce was just faking the whole being dead thing?

Joss moaned for 3 years after the show was over that he didn't have any ideas left about Buffy. Turns out, he wasn't kidding.

I wouldn't it past him! Maybe he's saving that for Tara to do with her White Magic of Looooooooooove, 'cause I'm laying a fiver she makes an appearance somewhere along the line in the Parade of Past Buffy Characters.
